Chapter 4 (Slaps and Scars)
"I-I don't know what's going on... I've never even heard her shout! That's the first time I've even seen her talk to a stranger the first time she meets them... She's usually so timid that she barely speaks around acquaintances..." Eclipse breathed, as if in shock. "This is too much drama, I don't know what the heck to do! Stormie never has problems... She never had problems..." Eclipse whimpered. Then, she rushed after her sister.
Grimm came after, and grabbed Eclipse's arm. "Hey!" He shouted. "Just... calm down. This is dangerous sometimes. B-be careful." Grimm nodded at her and gulped.
Eclipse nodded. "She's my sister... She would never purposefully hurt me," she said with DETERMINATION. With that she looked up. "By now, Storm will be too far to catch in human form... Just try not to freak out, okay?" Eclipse mumbled. Then, in a flash of light, a dark grey wolf with black ears and a white tail tip stood where Eclipse once was. It took of in the direction Storm ran.
Grimm, in that moment, died. Whoa.
He cleared his throat. Um, fast travel...
Crap, I can travel through dimensions but I can't go fast.
Grimm decided it'd be a good idea to follow as best he could so he didn't get completely left behind.
Storm was curled up in a ball, hiding in a corner. Eclipse ran up to her, mid-shift. "What the hell Storm? Are you alright?" Eclipse ask, clearly worried.
"Get away from me..." Storm exhaled in a mix of a whisper and a hiss.
"What?"
"I said, get away from me," Storm said slightly louder.
"No, I'm not gonna leave you here-" Eclipse was interrupted by long claws raking across her cheek. Eclipse slowly lifted a trembling had to touch her own cheek, and when she pulled her hand back she saw it was covered in crimson. Slap.
"GET A HOLD OF YOURSELF," Eclipse shouted in Storm's face. Storm seemed to have snapped out of her little panic attack.
"I'm... I'm so sorry..." Storm whispered. Eclipse sigh.
"It's alright. What's not alright is the fact that you've been keeping this from me!"
Grimm finally came upon the two, and fell to his knees, exhausted. He saw Storm hanging her head over her sister's shoulder, weeping. He stayed where he was. There wasn't much more to do.
His co-workers Faygo and Nathan, as well as the ghost August gathered behind him. He wouldn't be surprised if Storm started screaming in fear.
"Guys. What have you done?"
"We listened to you!"
"You shouldn't have." Grimm grumbled.
"Alright, you can let go of me now..." Eclipse laughed quietly. Storm let go and looked up, only to gasp in slight fear at the sight of others.
Eclipse turned to see what had alarmed her sister, revealing the four six-inch long gashes that were created by Storm's claws on her cheek. She seemed to have forgotten she was still bleeding. "Oh. Hey, you finally caught up," Eclipse teased, all while Storm tried to hide behind her sister.
"E-eh..." Grimm stuttered. "What happened to you?"
Nathan whispered something behind him, but he couldn't exactly hear.
